Coldplay's India debut is a free gig!

After rumors of astronomical ticket prices, Global Citizen announced the Coldplay's debut India show in will be free.

After several tabloid reports that led to inaccurate coverage about expensive ticket prices and which city would host Chris Martin and Co., international social action platform Global Citizen announced it would set up in India on Nov. 19 in Mumbai.

Initial news touted that the festival's first India edition would include Jay Z, but there's no confirmation of that yet. What is confirmed is that tickets won't cost INR 25,000 to 500,000 and will follow the festival's established format of providing tickets for free to fans based on signing up to become a part of Global Citizen and “taking actions in support of education, equality, and sanitation campaigns,” according to an announcement.

Indian artistes slated to appear at the festival include actor Aamir Khan, Oscar-winning film composer AR Rahman, actor-singer Farhan Akhtar and more.
